Movie Reviews

I watched a few movies last night. I figured I'd share my thoughts on them here. Now, just remember, I'm no Ebert and I don't do this for a living...

Star rating:
* - What were they smoking?? * * - Eh. * * * - Pretty good. * * * * - I really liked it. * * * * * - Awesome!


He's Just Not That Into You
* * * 1/2

As chick flicks go, I liked this one. Not something I feel I need to rush out and buy, but good enough to rent. If OH were watching it with me, he'd probably heckle the entire movie. Even though I had a pretty good idea about how it would end, it was a fun movie to watch.


Passengers
* *

Anne Hathaway tries a serious role that doesn't include a makeover. I kept having flashbacks to The Sixth Sense while watching this. It felt somewhat disjointed to me. And I kept wondering when it would get good.


Wanted
* * *

This movie is a good 'guy flick'. Lots of action and explosions and guns! Felt a hint of Fight Club in it at times. There are a few scenes I really got a kick out of (but am not going to write about just in case you've not seen this movie yet) and I wasn't yanked horribly out of my suspension of disbelief. If you start putting thought into it, you will probably find lots of errors about this and that. If you want a decent movie with lots of flying bullets and some nifty explosions, give it a shot.

Too hot to think

We've reached the upper 80s-early 90s now. And, considering it's about 20 degrees warmer inside where I work, I've come up with my excuse for not blogging so much recently:

"Can't brain today, I haz teh heat-deth."

Stay cool and hopefully I'll have some pretty pictures soon.

Back to it

I was on vacation last week. Or, rather, staycation. It was nice to not have to go to work. I was able to do some things around the house that I usually don't have the time or inclination to do. Like rearrange the living room. It kind of scared OH when I messaged him with what I was doing, due to my ... grace.

And, I'm writing this post on my nifty new LAPTOP! Woo hoo! Which means that I'm not chained to the desk upstairs.

On the knitting front, I've made quite a dent in my Stormqueen shawl/thingy. I only have about 40 rounds left to do, plus the edging. But I had to put it down for a little while now that one round is 500+ stitches (and still growing). But it's real pretty :)

I'm now on R123. Or maybe 125. Right in there somewhere. Here's a photo of it at R90:

Can't Resist

See, I had to share some of these. I dare you not to say 'Awwww' or laugh.
